I was reading an article at my chiropractors office when I went for my detox. The article was so interesting. It addressed the percentages of executives and students that had reached their goals in a particular time frame and what they had to say about goal setting. The majority (83%) said they contributed their success with goal setting to one thing…reading self help books!

They went on to say that while setting goals is invaluable, that without the mindset needed to overcome the day to day obstacles and negative overtones from co-workers or even teachers, it would have been extremely difficult to accomplish in the time frame set.

I was thrilled to read this because it is what we have been taught for a long time. Readers are Leaders and visa versa. With that in mind, I am encouraging everyone to get this book. The book is called “Talent Is Never Enough: Discover the Choices That Will Take You Beyond Your Talent” by John Maxwell. As a matter of fact, any book by John Maxwell is a winner.

It’s an age old question. When people achieve great things, others often say “well, they are so talented”. But that is a false and misleading way of looking at success. If talent alone is enough, then why do you know of highly talented people who are not highly successful? Everyone has God-given talents. We need to use them to their maximum potential. Talent opens the door to opportunity but wrong choices can shut the door. Talent is a given, but success must be earned!

This book shows:

• How passion can empower you to outperform people with more talent than you.
• The power of practice and how it can enable personal development, lead to discovery and demand discipline.
• How teachability can expand your talent.
• That anyone can do it!

Doesn’t that sound like it has Monavie written all over it?
...Passion…Practice…Teachability…Anyone Can Do It.

So here’s to all of us looking to be a better us and helping others to reach their full potential.

My hope is that while we are climbing the ranks of Bronze, Silver, Gold, Ruby, Emerald, Diamond and above, is that we do it strong. Strong not only in our business but strong in ourselves.

So enjoy this one, it’s a gem!!
Love to all,
Chris and Rick Parlante
